I dont want to hear me anymore.
I met Ryona in the sober summer of: “Nice try, I think Im over everyone.
” Cause I see you in everyone that I mess up.

I met Ryona in the sober summer of: “Nice try, I think Im over everyone.
” Cause I see you in everyone that I mess up.
I put all the scars inside your lungs.
You keep forgetting Im petty when I freeze up.
Im decorating all the faded pages I tore up and now you only make me smile before I wake up.
I couldnt cry if I tried.
Im a Bonnie and Clyde kinda guy.
Stalking your world and the camera that you see it through.
I knew, waited too long, but I knew.
Held by the throat you argue.
Held by the throat now Im locking you out.
If I figure you out or not.
Wait!
I like what I saw in your smile.
I just havent been me for a while.
I will waste every day that were separate.
Holding out for it.
I knew, waited too long, but I knew.
Back in the comfort of you.
Writing about, how Im writing about while I figure you out, oh my.
Im embarrassed to refrain from all the stories that you lead.
For my secret hideaway.
For my secret hideaway.
Ill be the sole acolyte that would lie to get better.
Be controlling at night.
Then the lie should get better in light.

“The Bronze Jade ” from Staircase Spirit on WUFT Amplified.
Eduardo and Jayson here with us.
Tell us about the genesis of the group.
So the group started, we knew each other from high school, me and Jayson.
And we started the band after basically after The Killers brou stage at Riptide a couple of yea And I saw him, because, you know, we were friends, but we didn't play music together yet.
And I saw him playing and I had some songs that I'd wr and I just realized that we needed to be in a band together.
So it started late 2019, early 20, and two years later.
You played on stage with The Killers?
Yeah.
Okay, we need the story for that.
So they were announced to play the festival in August of that year.
And I'm like, okay, they bring people on stage.
I'm going to bring a sign.
I tried this kind of thing before with other bands: never worked.
And then days leading up and practicing to it, and the moment comes, playing the song, two guys in the crowd.
He goes, “You.
Are you from here?
” I'm like screaming, “Yes, yes!
” And he decides between me and the other guy.
And he goes, “I like your face come up here.
” Led to about the greatest 9 minutes of probably my entire li And then afterwards someone interviews me, thinking, okay, some local magazine, no biggie.
Come to find out, he worked for Rolling Stone.
So that put that from like the south Florida level to like regional, like NME covered that, which is like a European press magazine.
It was crazy.
Greatest moment of my entire life.
Until tonight.
Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
All right.
Well, I don't know how to top that.
Well, thank you [The] Killers for, you know, bringing together Staircase Spirit.
Let's hear another one.
This is “Apart ”.
Staircase Spirit with “Apart ”, on WUFT Amplified.
Well I found you sleeping alone, when I figured she was home.
For the price you pay to own, I would stay inside.
Got it all figured out, but did everyone else grow up?
Now its just me and my thumbs asking, “When did you all grow up?
” Come sit right beside me awake.
And Ill be terrified of all of the words that youd say, “Ill be a little nicer if show me you care for once.
” Come sit right beside me awake.
And Ill be terrified of all of the words that youd say, “Ill be a little nicer if show me you care for once.
” Well I found you sleeping alone in your girlfriends bedroom, oh.
Inside.
Never cared enough to know, how to get inside.
Got it all figured out, but did everyone else grow up?
Now its just me and my thumbs asking, “When did you all grow up?
” Come sit right beside me awake.
And Ill be terrified of all of the words that youd say, “Ill be a little nicer if show me you care for once.
” Come sit right beside me awake.
And Ill be terrified of all of the words that youd say, my mistake.
Ive just been picturing you running away with all those scary guys.
Well are you satisfied?
Youve secured your space with the voices through my.

You want to walk her?
Get her, go big or go home.
If you find a way out, best you get me on the phone.
Sink me like a stone.
Could I be the one I want to own?
Waiting on the voodoo to come true.
Staring at the truth outside my window.
A youth without a view.
Sorry, youre a sight for these sore eyes.
Can you believe it?
She talked to me I talked too.

Ill be on the run, mindful of the moves I make and pose.
